I don't know if it still exists, but, I recall seeing, when I first joined MyLot, in the rules, that short two or three word comments paid nothing and that, to get paid, your comment had to have a minimum of thirty characters(minus spacing) to make money...Just curious...

That too. But, the more you comment on other MyLotter's posts, the more money you make also. But MyLot will not pay for short comments like: "Nice post" and so on. It's about responding and interacting.

@Wordly1 myLot does not pay you for anything you write yourself. In fact, the FAQ page even states if you do not receive some type of interaction to what you write, you won't earn.

@JolietJake That's true. That's why I put the emphasis on 'comments'.

There has never been anything in the rules about a minimum character count. I don't know where you read that, but it was definitely not in the myLot guidelines page.

@trivia79 Well, it's like this: a like shows interest, and we get paid for that...however, it is better to write a little more than just 'thank you'. The rules no longer state it, but we used to be discouraged to simply thank people and not add more to it.

I think that doesn't exist anymore when i went over the new guidelines. If you have noticed too, the (-) sign has been removed as well as the stars that used to be next to our names.

@JolietJake Got it. Thinking back, I think that I got mixed up between this site and the 'PP' site which is now defunct. Thanks.

I wish there was a minimum, some people just write a stupid question and hope for yards and yards of rebuttal - which they probably will get, but that is just wrong. at least give a decent read to get a response

"Nice comment"...Just had to do it :-) But, you're right, give us a 'little meat' to chew on.

I know that was a rule for the other site, but I don't recall seeing it here.

Was corrected on that by J.J. . We don't get paid for writing 'discussions' or 'comments'. The pay is based on the amount of responses that we receive from other MyLotters to our discussions or comments.

@Wordly1 That's what I thought.
